Writing your story ✍️
Your story on your fundraiser should be personal -- those types of fundraisers do best! It's a great place to talk about your connection to this cause, how you learned about the work the sanctuary you chose to fundraiser for does for apes, your connection to apes and ape welfare. (If you're a volunteer or have visited the sanctuary, this is the perfect place to tell that story!) The more specific to you, the better! But if you'd like a story to start you off, here's something you can copy-and-paste or use for inspiration. Select the text below and press CNTRL + C or right-click & select copy and then paste in the About section of your fundraiser and fill in the blanks:
I'm fundraising for [SANCTUARY NAME] for Giving Day for Apes! Giving Day for Apes is a 24-hour event on October 7th that raises money and awareness for ape welfare. This year, starting on September 16th, I'm hoping to raise at least $XXX for [SANCTUARY NAME]. Please join me in making a donation to support this important cause and help [SANCTUARY NAME] reach their goals for Giving Day for Apes!
If you can add some personal details, great! If not, this little bit of text is enough.
Set your goal
How much you can raise depends on a lot of things, like how big your social network is and how much they have to give. So, use your best judgement, but setting your goal at $500 is a good starting place.
You can update your goal at any time, so if things are going really well, you can set a stretch goal once you hit $500 and keep going!
